Thank you for listening to the late breaking F1 podcast.

Make sure to tune in for new episodes every Wednesday and Grand Prix Sunday.

Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eid, Sam Sage, and me, Ben Hocking.

It's an off week in terms of F1, but does that mean there's no late breaking F1 podcast?

Absolutely not. We're still here because there's still so much to talk about.

And you need our nonsensical views on it, I'm sure.

We've got plenty to discuss tonight.

We're looking at Mick Schumacher and his recent run of form.

We're looking at Sebastian Vettel and his suspended fine as a result of leaving the drivers meeting in Austria.

We're playing pump the brakes later on.

Our first topic is actually looking at McLaren and what they might do for the 2023 seat, whether it would be Ricardo or someone else.

And if you believe our Instagram, Sam, you're actually in the running for that seat.

Correct. Yeah, I have heard the press talking.

They've gone, that man can stand the heat because of how hot it is in London at the moment.

And I'm still alive.

So they think that I can stand to the F1 grid.

So who knows?

Maybe I'm in the running. Me versus Alex Palau or someone like that for a 2023 seat.

You could have heard it here first.

I just want to take a moment to recognize that it's the one-week anniversary of Pierre Djibui.

So.

Oh, God.
